Description

We’re all unique! That means we can’t always follow someone else’s successful homeschool path and be guaranteed the same results. It also means we’ll probably encounter some delightful surprises and not-so-delightful struggles as we travel this homeschool journey.

With nearly 20 years of homeschool experience—and an array of friends who’ve been there and done that—I have experienced many of these surprises and struggles!
Even in our uniqueness, homeschoolers share common problems that have common solutions. In this podcast series, I address some of those common problems—and a few not-so-common ones—and talk through how to find solutions that will meet your unique needs.
